Guy Fawkes

To celebrate Guy Fawkes we decided to do some scratch art using black paint and crayons.  Then we wrote some sounds that reminded us of fire works going off.  Have a look at what Ben came up with:

My Writing

Ben, look what  you can do with the help of a Teacher! With support you are developing your basic word recognisiton and you are beginning to use the alphabet sounds to spell longer/unfamiliar words. Keep it up Ben!

Cherry Blossom Tree

As part of our Spring celebrations we created a picture of a tree with blossoms.  First students practised sketching leaves and following that we explored the different shapes of trees.  Students then painted the trunk and branches as well as a background.  The final step was to draw and cut out leaves and grass, and then create blossoms using coloured tissue paper.  A lot of learning went on during this piece of art as students used their fine motor skills to add details to their work.

Celebrating Spring

In Room 27 we have been learning about Spring.  To celebrate our learning we decided to have a teddy bears picnic.  We made delicious cupcakes, yummy old fashioned lemonade and nga tamariki were able to bring a teddy bear from home.  We really enjoyed the lemonade and cupcakes.  Some students noticed that "the cupcakes were really sweet and the lemonade was quite sour but they tasted yummy together".  We weren't scared off by the wet Spring weather either with students exclaiming "our picnic needs to be outside".  Thankfully the rain held off just long enough for us to enjoy our Spring feast.

Football Fun

On Friday we had some visitors come from the Football Association to teach us new skills.  It was really tricky not touching the ball with our hands.  We enjoyed playing a football game in the big inflatable field and doing the football drills.  We thought it was really funny when the man told us to put our noses on the football!
